Sample item

Which component of Virchow triad contributes to thrombosis?

Original practice item, not a recalled exam question. Nothing here is recorded.

The answer and the reasoning

A. Endothelial injury

Virchow triad comprises endothelial injury, abnormal blood flow, and hypercoagulability, which together increase the risk of thrombus formation.

Option by option

  • A. Endothelial injury (correct)

    Correct: endothelial injury is one of the triad.

  • B. High vitamin C intake

    Vitamin C intake does not define Virchow triad.

  • C. Hyperthyroidism only

    Thyroid disease is not itself a triad component.

  • D. Increased skin melanin

    Melanin does not cause thrombosis through this mechanism.
